Actor Cho Jin-woong revealed his diet secret.
On tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on March 1, actor Cho Jin-woong appeared as a user quizzer in a special feature called 'Great Legacy'.
On this day's broadcast, Yoo Jae-seok mentioned Cho Jin-woong's real name. It turns out that Cho Jin-woong chose his father's name as his stage name. Cho Jin-woong said, "My real name is Won-jun. My father was a person I always looked up to. The name seemed cool. I debuted in the movie 'The Cruel History of Horses and Horses', and I said it would be nice to have my name written in the credits. Then, at home, I said, 'I don't have anything to take, so I did everything.' “I said, ‘I’ll take it,’” he said, causing laughter.
Cho Jin-woong said, "I'm paying a lot of royalties now. Shouldn't I find my name quickly?" Yoo Jae-seok asked, “What do you call me sometimes during holidays or when my family gathers at home?” Cho Jin-woong replied, "I call him Jun-a-Jun-a. It's a taboo in the house. Since he's the eldest father, I can't (call him) carelessly."
Cho Jin-woong talked about the casting for his debut work, ‘The Cruel History of Horses.’ He said, "I happened to be passing by Samseong-dong and met a senior military officer. He was working in the production department of a film company. We talked about various things. At the time, I was acting in a play. He asked me if I wanted to do a movie. The office was in front, so I went there and there was Kwon Sang-woo. “He explained, “To us, he was a teen star. He was doing some proven work. That’s why I auditioned.”
Cho Jin-woong appeared as a large man in the drama 'Sons of Sol Pharmacy'. He said, "It was a natural look. I've eaten a lot of it, but even if I didn't, it was always like this." Cho Jin-woong played the role of Moo-hyul, a warrior guarding Han Seok-gyu, in the drama 'Deep-Rooted Tree'. In ‘Deep-Rooted Tree’, he appeared in a different form. Cho Jin-woong said, "I exercised a lot. I lost 80 kg from 120 kg."
Yoo Jae-seok asked, “How did you lose weight?” Cho Jin-woong replied, "It's about not eating and exercising. It's about quitting drinking, cutting off good interpersonal relationships, and becoming toxic. It's 'private', but Kim Moo-yeol increased his weight because he's playing a gang member. He said it's difficult to increase his weight." At the same time, he said, "Is it difficult to increase the weight? It's a burden on top. I don't understand. I only wait for two weeks," making people laugh.
Jo Se-ho mentioned the eyewitness story, saying, "I heard he likes alcohol. He said he's a big drinker." The celebrity that part-time bar workers avoid is Cho Jin-woong. Cho Jin-woong said, "Ah. Where's the source? Somewhere in a bar." He continued, "No, I'm asking when will it end? Then I'll adjust it to that time zone. For example, when I meet an old friend, I feel a passion for the old friend. When I meet friends who work, regardless of whether they're doing a play or a movie, there's a lot of warmth in my heart. “There are suns one by one,” he explained.
Cho Jin-woong also talked about the story of wearing a partial wig at his wedding. He played the role of Wakizaka in the movie 'Roaring Currents' and actually shaved his head. Cho Jin-woong confessed, “I wore a partial wig on my wedding day.” Yoo Jae-seok asked, “Didn’t your wife say anything?” Cho Jin-woong replied, "If possible, don't sweat and don't take it off and cover it up if you feel uncomfortable. It will break a lot." He said he went on his honeymoon without a toupee.
